I hate IB's interface, but again their API allows one to link up
with other things like Trading View or Ninja trader to use those
interfaces. They have a lot of access to other instruments that
other brokers don't, and they are the most widely used by hedge
funds and have great institutional support
TOS is fine for many things and yes has an active community for
various indicators and simple strategies. That said, when we looked
at it their language is too simple and limiting, and it wasn't
possible for us to convert many of our systems and strategies over
it - that's not something that would be a problem for you guys but
for us it was.
again broker is highly personal to what your needs are, no one
right answer. The right answer is finding one or ones that fit your
needs the best
"They have a lot of access to other instruments that other
brokers don't..." Very true, an astounding difference of
instruments in some cases. What's puzzling is their entire lack of
personal service/knowledge. I'm more knowledgeable that some of the
people on their phone line! And I am no genius. And one department
is clueless about the other.
